Meets these NCTM Standards:
Learn about inverse trig functions and what their graphs look like.
- Trig Graphs - A table of graphs of trig and inverse trig functions.
- What are inverse trig functions?
- What does inverse sin, inverse cos, and inverse tan mean?
- What does sin^-1 theta mean?
- How do you graph inverse trig functions?
- What does the graph of y = inverse sin x look like?
- What quadrants are the inverse trig functions defined in?
- What is arcsin (-1)?
- What is cot(sin^-1(1/2) - cos^-1(1))?
- How do you calculate values of inverse trig functions?
This lesson is a good explanation of inverse trig functions, what they mean, and how they are graphed. A topic that is often quite difficult to understand and put on paper is done in a very straight-forward way.
I like it but it would be appropriate to talk about why we restrict the range on the inverse sine. Reminder of one-to-one functions would help to fill in any gaps the viewer may have.
